"B went to Kyoto to hunt books. Found only 2 but found Schultz's house. Invited them down. McKnight's came to visit awhile. Have heard yelling for several nights. Kita-san finally explained it was boys watching for fires calling "Hi no-yo yin" (watch your fires). Olden times an old man did it for pension. Now volunteer boys do it. From Edo period."

"Went to Kobe. Found some tiles & some fans. Also found some cute chashi oki (chopstick rests)."

The fans are just beautiful.
I think so too! They are very different--one is a delicate silk, the other is paper.
